RESERVAE is the new cross-cultural magazine about SURF and CULTURE made in Ericeira, with love. You can now pre-order the first issue to be the first one getting it in October, when this project will finally be on paper!

What is the magazine about?
RESERVAE is the perfect blend of local traditions and the new international lifestyle: We let the locals present their surf spots. We highlight small traditional businesses. We give a stage to international projects. We bring all the news of the best events, in and around Ericeira. We travel to ancient times, to learn from local history. 

RESERVAE is a print magazine, written in Portuguese and English, so everyone in this beautiful “vila” can learn from each other’s stories.

Why are we doing this?
Over the last few years, Ericeira has experienced a boom that has brought lots of people from all over the world. Many of them have stayed for a better quality of life and created with new co-working spaces, cafés and events their own international community.

Most of us feel that the foreign community is not really connecting with the locals, that there are two realities living in Ericeira. Our goal is to bring these communities a bit closer and to create something new in which both parts learn from each other.


 

How is it going to be?
Supporting this private project gives you the chance to finally have a high quality printed piece of journalism in your hands again. You can flip through the magazine of about 100 pages on thick paper with a decent design. You will find lots of awesome shots of local photographers, in-depth stories and up to date information about what’s going on in Ericeira and surroundings. You’ll be surprised about what this old fisherman’s village has to offer!

Wait! Reserva? Reserve?
RESERVAE - You can read this name in Portuguese as “Reserva” or in English as “Reserve”. We all heard about the “World Surfing Reserve”, but we believe that not only the surf spots around Ericeira but also its local culture needs to be protected, preserved and retained. Welcoming all progress and change of the last years: This place is special and deserves a special homage. 

So, it’s on you now to give us the chance to create something new together, as one community. Let's build bridges between the local and the foreign community, let us show each other's stories, traditions and values and let’s - in the end - understand each other better.

About the author

Hi, I’m Marica, German project manager in marketing/ communications and the founder of RESERVAE. I’ve been living in Ericeira for a couple of years now and fell in love with the area, the people and the local culture. Getting to know the Ericeira lifestyle, I always felt a certain distance between the “new” international community and the “old” local community, watching the new boom in town change the daily lives.

Together with Miguel and Sara, two Portuguese journalists and Laura, a Dutch designer, I created the concept of RESERVAE: a magazine that shows not only surf related content but also the cultural beauty of the area, that’s written in English and Portuguese and that helps the two communities to get to know each other and to understand each other better.

While producing the campaign video we spoke to many different people in Ericeira and learned that almost everybody felt the same as we do: something is missing to connect these two worlds and it’s urgently needed!

Budget and due dates

The first issue of RESERVAE will be published in October 2023. We want to publish every 3 months in the style of a coffee table book with around 100 pages. So we’re working on a high quality magazine, not only in text and design, but also in haptics and look and feel. The first issue will be sold for 10€.

Magazine Production: 50,43%
Print: 19,28%
Fees: 7,8%
Campaign: Marketing & Events: 6,49%
Delivery: 16%

RESERVAE is a private project, starting with zero budget, without investors or any support from the Portuguese government. Without reaching the financial target this cross-cultural project will not be published. We need your support!

    Dear supporters,

    We hope that you have all received your magazine in your mailboxes. Please send us a message if you haven't received your magazine yet so we can take care of it, as it seems that the Portuguese postal service delivers faster to Sweden than within Ericeira:) Sorry for those who are still waiting, we will solve the problem as soon as possible!

    Cheers,
    Marica & RESERVAE team

    Caros apoiantes,

    Esperamos que todos tenham recebido a sua revista nas caixas de correio. P or favor, enviem-nos uma mensagem se ainda não receberam a sua revista para que possamos tratar do assunto. Parece que os correios portugueses fazem entregas mais rápidas na Suécia do que na Ericeira:) Pedimos desculpa por aqueles que ainda estão à espera, mas vamos resolver o problema o mais rápido possível!

    Para quem já recebeu a revista: Estamos super curiosos para saber se estão a gostar. Deixem-nos uma mensagem do feedback:)

    Obrigada,
    Marica & equipa RESERVAE

    Caro apoiante da RESERVAE,

    Nas últimas semanas temos estado em silêncio, mas apenas por uma boa razão: Estávamos a trabalhar na produção do primeiro número da revista e conseguimos finalmente entregar os ficheiros de impressão. Foi realmente um sprint desde que ganhámos a campanha até finalizarmos a primeira edição!

    Assim, estamos muito felizes por anunciar que teremos as revistas impressas na próxima semana, no dia 3 de outubro, e que começaremos a entregar e a enviar os exemplares para vocês. Por isso, procurem nas vossas caixas de correio, uma revista fantástica, produzida com muito amor e carinho, estará lá à vossa espera :)

    Para os que compraram o "pacote da festa": estamos a tentar encontrar uma boa solução para uma festa de lançamento da revista, mas estamos dependentes dos espaços possíveis e temos de ser um pouco mais pacientes. Assim que tivermos uma data e um local, avisaremos. Estamos muito ansiosos por celebrar com todos vós em breve!

    Mais uma vez, muito obrigada pelo apoio de cada um de vocês!

    Beijinhos

    Dear supporter of RESERVAE,

    The last weeks have been silent but only for a good reason: We were working on producing the very first issue of the magazine and could finally hand in the print files. It was literally a sprint from winning the campaign to finalizing the very first issue!

    So we’re super happy to announce that we will have the printed magazines next week on October 3rd and will start to deliver and send the copies to you. So have a look in your letter boxes, an amazing magazine, produced with lots of love and care will be waiting for you there :)

    For those who booked the “party package”: we are trying to find a good solution for a magazine launch party but are dependent on the possible venues and need to be a bit more patient. As soon as we have a date and a location we will let you know. Looking forward to celebrate with all of you soon!

    Once again, thank you so much for the support from each one of you!

    Beijinhos
